I have always been the chunky one....but my 1st revelation of this was in 3rd grade when I moved from Torrance CA to Merrimack NH--It was a BIG change. Not only did I move across the country but I was moving within my formative years. Once I relocated to the NorhtEast--there was a chill-it may have been the summer of '76 but I was not getting the warm reception that I was used to in Cali. Girls judged and talked about what you ate and your bodylooked like. I was super uncomfortable, which I am sure everyone else was too! :) "Are you there - its me Margret " comes to mind....anyway I had neighbors who were genetically superior to me and I judged myself against them...SO WRONG but I was 10...I didnt know better and I was/and still am insecure. Sometimes for no good reason.

I am happily married--but since I got married I have gained 90 pounds--Ive got 2 wonderful kids and I love my job as an Autistic Elementary School teacher. I want to be able to truly enjoy the gifts God has given me. I want to stop living with only half of my heart/mind and get rid of that old self loathing......it is time to jump in and live fully!
This I promise to myself
